The handcuffs are necessary. It is to keep the security guards safe, If you remove them from the classroom with out handcuffs, the child may become violent and before you know it, you will have an enraged child and multiple security guards being sent to the emergency room.

There in no reason to handcuff a six year old child under no sercumstance's and Mr. Razor512 you need to get a life if you think a six year can send you to the emergency room you also need to get a real job.

yeah, I agree with you JEFF, that 6-year old child must not be handcuff, that's ridiculous actually. A child at that age is not as violent as an adult and in fact they cannot even hurt a man bigger than that child's size. Anyway I also wanted to share with you folks that an out-of-work carpenter in northern Illinois discovered a surprise in his yard Monday evening. He discovered a duffel bag filled with $20 bills. Law enforcement later found a second bag, for a total of $150,000. So far, no one has a clue how it got there. Article source: Chicago area man finds $150,000 in his back yard
